Seinfeld adds second show

Jerry Seinfeld is adding a late show to his June 7 stop in the Majestic Theatre. The 7 p.m. show, which went on sale last weekend, quickly sold out, so there’ll be a 9:30 p.m. show as well.

Those tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday through Ticketmaster.

Seinfeld continues the trend of A-list comedians adding shows in San Antonio according to ticket demand. George Lopez added a second show, and then a third, after his first show last month quickly sold out.

Unlike Lopez, Seinfeld’s schedule doesn’t appear to allow for much flexibility, regardless of demand — he’s due in Dallas June 8. The Majestic folks also indicated as such — that two shows in one night will probably be the max.

He must have a soft spot for the Majestic. The June shows will mark his seventh stop in the historic theater since the end of his long-running sitcom in 1998. Those ’98 dates, his first in San Antonio, touched off a minor frenzy, since they were his first standup shows after the final episode of “Seinfeld” aired in May. TV news crews greeted the comedian at the airport and at his hotel; folks were lining up at the Majestic as early as 4 a.m., six hours before tickets were to go on sale.
